Solid is Ordered

Wheel I am taking the plunge.
My Street/Strip Car is Turning into a Strip/Street Car. LOL


Here is my setup from DTS Custom

1994-1998 spec 8.8 Housing with welded tubes.
9" Ends
GT Brake Brackets for 9" ends
31 Spline True Trac
31 Spline Moser Axles w/ 3" studs
3:73 Gears
Solid Pinion Shim
Cobra Pinion Flange
APR main cap studs
T/A rear cover.

No I have to decided on all the other misc stuff that goes with the swap.

Here's a Rear Disc setup that you can run with those 9" housing ends. It also still incorporates the emergency brake. It's the same kit I went with for my 88 and it only cost me $385. That's about $425 cheaper than what a Aerospace, Willwood, etc. setup will cost you.

Not required. North Race Cars now makes a bracket that allows you to use GT/Cobra calipers with GT rotors and clear 9" ends.

Well, these were $99 shipped to me from snoopstang on turbomustangs.com. He sells them and also posts on numerous sites under the same name.


BTW, you should of just had Rodeheaver's build you a rear. He did mine for under $1,700, which included the brakes.

Cool, but will the exhaust clear those?
I may go with the CHE brace.
Then again many people are running no brace with no problems.

From what I have read, yes. I'm not running tailpipes though, hell, I'm not even running a muffler. My 3-1/2" downpipe is just going to dump just behind the front passenger tire.

I also just saw in MM&FF I think a company that came out with an under axle brace setup.

I have a strange feeling I am going to need an anti roll bar. LOL

Then you can kiss your tailpipes goodbye unless you have them upgrade your housing to a Chris Alston Chassis Works one that runs the anti-roll bar under the axle.

Miller Race Cars has on that works with stock pipes.
I believe Steeda has one also that mounts under.

Lou has a Steeda on his and I know he can't run tailpipes with it. They may of come out with a newer one since he put his on though.
